The provinces of Ontario and British Columbia have agreed to implement the harmonized sales tax (HST), which would replace existing provincial sales taxes and the federal goods and services tax in those provinces beginning July 1, 2010 and would be administered by the Canada Revenue Agency. The Canada Revenue Agency is offering a number of informative seminars to help ensure that businesses receive the information they need for the transition to the federal administration of the harmonized sales tax in Ontario and British Columbia.

Seminars are being conducted in downtown Vancouver through Small Business BC at 601 West Cordova Street at the following times:

• Thursday, February 11, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• Thursday, March 4, 2010 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
• Friday, March 26, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

For a full list of seminars across British Columbia, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website. There is no charge for any of the harmonized sales tax seminars.
